A book cover with a landscape painting of a grewn foreground, yellow field, green treeline, the suggestion of a red-roofed house, blue sky. The text says: From the award-winning author of alfabet/alphabet Sadiqa de Meijer IN THE FIELD.

POETRY IS QUEER, Kirby - Palimpsest Press Poetry is Queer is a kaleidoscope of sexual outlaws, gay icons, Sapphic poets, and great lovers—real and imagined—conjured like gateway drugs to a queer world.

My husband is in training all day today which means I can’t pester him with memes and my random thoughts of how other parents park to pick up their kids after school and this is a problem for me. Why are we parking SUVs the size of semi trucks in a school parking lot???

The cover of The Book of Benjamin, by Ben Robinson. It has a portion of a photo of a small boy with glasses seated beside two standing men. The photo of tipped on its side, so that its bottom is really the right edge of the cover. A lot is cut out, so that the men's faces aren't visible, and the bottom of the boy's face is cut off

The cover of Recombinant Theory, by Joel Katelnikoff. It's all black, with what looks like a roll of white letters that you could turn along the upper portion of the cover (running horizontally). Within the white letters, red ones spell out RECOMBINANT THEORY

Two quilled paper shapes that curve and fold into each other, resembling the vertebrae of a human spine, lay on a light brown surface.

In an essay for today's #beautifulbooks, @teagerbeza.bsky.social shares photos and perspective on her craft of paper quilling, and how it factored into - indeed, became part of - the writing of her long poem HOW I BEND INTO MORE (@palimpsestpress.bsky.social).

I quite liked your bow tie at the GG’s

Am having a fairly shitty day but then I watched a story about a guy who adopted a camel and how the camel now sneaks into his house and he’s huge and now I’m talking myself out of wanting a camel as my cat tries to climb onto me while I work at my desk.

Omg folks, GO VOTE today! If you’re mad about cuts to healthcare, long wait times, staff shortages, education cuts, the green belt, whatever matters most yo you, do your part and vote! Voter apathy keeps the status quo. If that’s not something you want, go VOTE!

Every time I take my kids to the orthodontist, I’m newly caught off guard by the fact that they play dance and house music in the waiting area. Every time.

River, Diverted is a wild & wonderfully dark & campy novel by @jtennant.bsky.social, published by @palimpsestpress.bsky.social in 2022. I had a blast talking to Jamie!
